after the events of McNally’s 1990 television play, Andre’s Mother. Katharine Gerard, a mother who lost her son, Andre, to the AIDS virus 20 years ago, seeks closure by visiting her son’s partner, Cal, and his new partner, Will.
The New York Times calls Mothers and Sons “A resonant elegy for a ravaged generation,” while The Chicago Tribune calls it “eloquent, exceptionally timely and intensely resonant.”
Mothers and Sons debuted on Broadway in 2014 and has been nominated for two Tony Awards. CATCO’s presentation stars Jackie Bates as Katharine Gerard, David Vargo as Cal Porter and Joe Dallacqua as Will Ogden. Director Steven C. Anderson’s credits include The Elephant Man, Avenue Q, The 39 Steps and Hair, among others.
